Lately, I've had the urge to ask random mask-wearers why they are wearing the mask. BTW, I have no problem walking up to total strangers and starting a conversation, which is probably why I have this urge.
I assume it is either because they think it protects them from Covid, think it protects others if they have Covid, or they want to virtue signal.
But I'm torn as to whether or not starting a random convo with a stranger would lead to the person getting irrate or melting down, and if that would be helpful or harmful.
What do you guys think?
My town had an ordinance that prevented the wearing of masks in public until the day they mandated wearing masks in public (in fact, they probably didn't even remove the ordinance and just ran them concurrently). Being anonymous by wearing a mask is a freedom that the surveillance state had taken, and now we have it back. Recapturing any lost freedom is at least a silver lining.
